I admit, I wanted Up In The Air to win something, but it's the only one I've seen, and I'm fond. But power to Bigelow.
I wonder if they'd have played "Young, Gifted, And Black" if the Precious director had won?
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Because books.
Poor Bigelow, though. She looked absolutely stunned, and she didn't even have time to catch her breath in between.

Jesusita - cut the stupid horror montage and put John Hughes in with the other in memorium and that would make up most of the time, and that damn stupid monologue.

Pete's reaction: Strange Days will finally be released on Blu-Ray now! Yeah!
